My truck was born with a 3 on the tree and way before I got it it was converted to a four speed . I would like to remove the Tree Stump off the column, then hide it.
So… how do you suggest this project? Sawzall? Hacksaw? Will any shavings damage any electrical?
any pictures what your final outcome is?
Thanks!
To replace that part with the proper"floor shift collar" means disassembly of the collum. Or replace the entire collum with one from a floor shift truck...
I have seen everything from Bondo, to epoxies, multi part metal fillers, used to fill the hole left by shaving off the stump. The results will look good for a few years, but expansion and contraction will eventually make cracks to refill and touch up.
What I should say is pick your favorite filler (JB weld etc) and shave and fill. And then file and sand till it looks good, and paint. Temperature changes, and time will cause you to rework it sooner or later.
The only ones I haven't seen crack out, have an aftermarket/ vintage tack mounted over the shaved hole with the traditional hose clamp. And it Hides it forever!

I was reading your reply and when I read about putting a tach I had a flashback. I’m older and there was a time in Hot Rodding owners would put a tach, water temp, & an oil pressure gauge on their column. Thank you for jogging my memory.
